Blast rocks Afghan northern Kunduz town, killing 2, injuring 16
An explosion rocked Afghanistan's Kunduz city, 250 km north of capital Kabul, on Saturday, killing two people and injuring 16 others including six children, provincial police spokesman said.
"The terrorists planted explosive device on a bicycle and exploded it by remote control at noon time today in Kunduz city, killing two people and injuring 16 others including six children," Syed Sarwar Hussaini told Xinhua.
Among those killed in the blast is Shir Arab, a former Jihadi commander and member of the government-backed High Peace Council, Hussaini added.
The bloody incident took place while Shir Arab parked his car and went shopping in nearby shops.
High Peace Council is a government-backed body which encourages Taliban militants to give up militancy and join the administration.
